There was only one person, when the emperor slapped his palm, he almost jumped up, that person was Prince De, at this time his brows were furrowed tightly, his lips were also pursed, and he looked at the emperor with obscurity in his eyes, as if he was judging whether the emperor did it on purpose.

Prince De only saw the emperor's unhappy face, as if it had never happened before, what pointed out that Jing Mofeng collaborated with the enemy and treason, and what palace people poisoned, none of them happened, not to mention the table he just patted.

Prince De has words of suffering, but Ling Qingrui knows it, knowing that the emperor just now, it fell in everyone's ears just a more deterrent slapping sound, and in the ears of Prince De, it was like a thunderbolt roaring in his ears, I believe that if it weren't for the fact that Prince De's martial arts are really not low, I am afraid that this time will make him faint directly.

It's just that Ling Qingrui can also be sure that the emperor did not deliberately embarrass Prince De, because it is impossible for the emperor to know that Prince De was poisoned, how could he do it on purpose, Prince De looked at the emperor, but he was suspicious of the ghost.

When Ling Qingrui was thinking secretly, she saw Chen Debu order someone to drag out the palace man who was kneeling on the ground, and then took out a scroll of holy decrees, cleared his throat, and said, "The fifth prince Jing Mofeng took the decree. ”

Jing Mofeng and the others, except for the emperor and Prince De, all immediately fell to their knees.

"Fengtian carried the emperor's edict and said, the fifth prince Jing Mofeng led the troops to defeat the enemy...... Hereby, he is named the king of Ling! Chin this. ”

"Son's order, thank you!"

Jing Mofeng's face was as usual, and after thanking him, he took the holy decree, but his heart was shocked because of the word Ling, why King Ling, did the emperor know something? He raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the emperor at the top, but saw that the emperor's eyes were slightly closed, as if he was very tired, but there was nothing abnormal.

And the second prince and the third prince who heard this holy decree were happy in their hearts, if they were in the previous dynasty, Jing Mofeng was crowned king, the two of them would definitely be very angry, the identity of the prince is naturally more noble than the prince, but there is an unwritten rule in the Tianli Dynasty, that is, once the prince is crowned king, it means that the prince loses the qualification to seize the crown prince and inherit the throne!

Of course, the reason why it is an unwritten rule is that it is not clearly written in the law, but since the founding of the Tianli Dynasty, it has always been the case, or directly named the crown prince, or ascended the throne as the emperor, and no prince can become the next emperor after being crowned king.

This is the reason why the second prince and the third prince are secretly happy, while the fourth prince looks at the emperor who is acting a little weird today.

Chen Debu's holy decree was obviously prepared by the emperor in advance, and he had already intended to crown Jing Mofeng as the king, but he allowed others to slander Jing Mofeng for collaborating with the enemy and treason, and when Jing Mofeng washed away his grievances and found out the palace people who poisoned the palace banquet, he even could find out the master behind the vine, and suddenly stopped investigating.

In the end, is it that the emperor doesn't care about Jing Mofeng at all, or does the emperor know who is the mastermind, but he has no intention of pursuing it at all?

Why did he treat Jing Mofeng like this? Could it be that when Jing Mofeng was a child, the emperor's love for him was all false?

The four princes began to feel a faint pain in their hearts, no wonder Jing Mofeng had a lot of resentment towards the emperor, and glanced at the plain Jing Mofeng, but he also knew that this was not the time for the two of them to speak, so he had to hold back his heartache and secretly think about how to deal with the changes caused by this incident.

Besides, Chen Debu, in the complex thoughts of the crowd, took out another volume of holy decrees, and read it out loud, everyone listened to different thoughts, and their expressions were even different, and the second prince and the third prince swept away the joy just now, and their faces were extremely strange.

In the second volume of the holy decree, the emperor named the second prince as King Hong, the third prince as King Chen, and the fourth prince as King Han, which is why the second and third princes can no longer be happy.

However, only these four princes born to the emperor remain, none of them became princes, and all of them were crowned kings, so it is impossible for all princes to sit on the throne? How is this possible!

At this moment, not only the four princes, but even the second and third princes felt that the emperor was acting strangely, but the king was named the emperor's favor, although they were the emperor's sons, they were also courtiers, and it was impossible to refuse, so they had to accept the order and thank them.

Later, the emperor rewarded the generals who made meritorious contributions in this war, which was a little surprising was the reward for Li Xin.

Originally, Li Xin, as Jing Mofeng's guard, no matter how much military merit he made, he could only be rewarded by Jing Mofeng, but he didn't want the emperor to make Li Xin a partial general from the second rank, and even gave a general's mansion!

Some people immediately thought of the death of Prime Minister Li and the separation of the family in the Li Mansion, and some people even remembered the oath that Li Xin had made in front of everyone, and sighed in their hearts that the wind and rain were coming, and the emperor's move might become a catalyst for the storm to pour down.

It's just that no one dares to say anything, and the emperor's temper has not been calmed down by the victory of the army recently, but has become more and more irritable.

Prince De stood there, his eyes were extremely deep, all this seemed to be beyond his expectations, and it seemed that it was all under his control, he did not have the slightest surprise, but looked at the people who knelt in the hall with indifferent faces.

After everyone thanked him, the emperor slowly opened his eyes, looked at Prince De, and asked in a gentle tone: "Brother Wang, I see that you are frowning repeatedly, are you unwell?" Do you want Imperial Doctor Xuan to come and diagnose Brother Wang's pulse? ”

Prince De quickly came back to his senses and said with a smile: "The imperial brother is too worried, and the younger brother is not uncomfortable, but he feels that this celebration banquet seems to be a little dull." ”

"According to the king's wishes, what should I do?" The emperor asked again.

Prince De's eyes swept over the people sitting back in their respective seats, and said: "Since it is a celebration banquet, and the courtiers see that there are a lot of noblewomen in the palace, why don't the nobles from all the provinces offer their talents, what does the imperial brother think?" ”

"Good!" The emperor agreed.

When Ling Qingrui saw it, it was another talent competition as usual, plus today was a celebration banquet for Jing Mofeng, maybe she wanted to choose Princess Ling for him, right? I don't know why I was worried in my heart, so boring, when I looked around, I saw Jing Mofeng, and now I should call him King Ling.

Ling Wang ......

Ling Xiao ......

Ling Qingrui couldn't help but be a little distracted, and the women in the hall, as always, showed the piano, dance, and song in a lackluster manner......

At this time, a daughter said: "Uncle Huang, Qinghui wants to ask Lord An Jin to do Qinghui a favor so that she can perform, and I also ask Uncle Huang for permission." ”

Ling Qingrui heard someone mention her, and stared at it, but it turned out to be the county lord of Qinghui, the county lord of Qinghui was dressed up, and her originally beautiful face was set off by a dress, and she was even more beautiful, and faintly showed a bit of gentleness, which was very attractive, but Ling Qingrui did not miss the viciousness in the eyes of the county lord of Qinghui when he looked at her.

The emperor looked at the county lord of Qinghui and said the word "quasi".

At that moment, the county lord of Qinghui turned his head to Ling Qingrui, and said in a gentle voice: "County Lord An Jin, this is the case, Qinghui has practiced dance for a long time, and she wants to dedicate it to the emperor's uncle and ...... today Cousin Feng, who didn't want to play the piano for Qinghui in the past, was sick today, Qinghui wanted to ask the county lord An Jin to help play a piano song for Qinghui, okay? ”

Ling Qingrui raised her eyebrows slightly, and said: "Even if you have been practicing hard for a long time, you must have been with this qin song for a long time. If this is because of this, the dance of the county lord of Qinghui is disgraced, wouldn't it be An Jin's fault, and it is inappropriate. ”

Qinghui's face showed a little shyness, and said softly: "It's okay, although the dance is difficult, the piano music is extremely simple, the maids in the house will be, as long as the county lord An Jin can play it, Qing Hui will naturally follow the tune and make slight changes, it will not disturb the emperor's uncle's Yaxing, and please ask the county lord of An Jin to help a group of Qing Hui." ”

The county lord of Qinghui was shy, and what he said seemed to be very polite, repeatedly emphasizing that the qin music was simple, and saying that it would be changed according to Ling Qingrui's playing, wouldn't it mean that Ling Qingrui was not as good as the maid in the house, and even playing the simplest qin song would make mistakes, and deliberately lowered his posture, if Ling Qingrui did not agree, not only would he not give the county lord of Qinghui face, but also bear the crime of disturbing the emperor's Yaxing.

This Qinghui county lord, a few simple words, but there are three twists and turns, and there are traps everywhere!

The county lord of Qinghui inquired about it, she didn't know how to play the piano, so she did it deliberately, Ling Qingrui's eyes were slightly cold, and she asked: "May I ask which qin song does the county lord of Qinghui use when he is practicing?" ”

Hearing Ling Qingrui ask, the county lord of Qinghui only responded as her, and was overjoyed in her heart, and said, "It's Xiaoxiang Shuiyun." ”

Xiaoxiang water clouds, this piece of piano sound from elegant and light, to magnificent, and then gentle and graceful, said to be simple, in fact, it is extremely difficult to play the charm of it, if there is a slight mistake, the whole piece has lost its original artistic conception.

The county lord of Qinghui ordered someone to put a guqin, and when she looked at Ling Qingrui, her face was full of earnestness, and no one noticed that there was deep malice in her eyes.

At this time, there were suddenly a few light coughs, but it turned out to be Jing Mofeng covering his lips and coughing gently, but he was holding a white object in his hand, like a chess piece, and when everyone looked at him, he gently put his hand down.

A thought suddenly flashed through Ling Qingrui's mind, a faint smile appeared on her lips, and she said, "Is the county lord of Qinghui sure to let An Jin use this guqin to play the Xiaoxiang Water Cloud Song?" ”

"Naturally, yes." Lord Qinghui replied gently, but his heart suddenly jumped wildly.

In the next moment, the upward curvature of the corners of Ling Qingrui's lips became more and more obvious, and the pear vortex on her cheeks was even more looming, and she said again with a smile like a flower: "I hope that the county lord of Qinghui will not regret it at that time!" ”
